When couples listen to each other, it is a sign that they care about each other and have an interest in finding compromise whenever an issue arises. Listening doesn’t just involve being physically as your partner is talking either; it’s about making eye contact as they speak, paying attention to what they’re saying, and contributing to the discussion so that you both reach an understanding.
3. Conflict resolution
No matter how ideal your relationship might appear, there will be times when you strongly disagree about something. We might align with our partners in many ways, but ultimately we are two humans with different points of view, insecurities, and priorities. If you are unable to find ways to deal with the tension and minimize confrontation, the unresolved problems will continue to fester and eventually one of you is going to call it quits.
